    Stripes? I am thinking of it...opinions

    Good luck Clay! I was going to put the Baltimore Street Mod 10" full kit on my wife's GT but after reading all the posts and finding out that most shops only charge $225 to do the install I figured that would be the way to do. Mistake....The shop said they would rather simply make their own...

    Which Exhaust??

    I put the Steeda axle back (extremely similar to FRPP and Borla Stingers)along with an off road H on my wife's '08 and it sounds great. Loud but not obnoxious. Very deep muscle car sound. She is very happy and I am sure you would be also. She loves that it is louder than my heads/cam Bassani...

    Anthracite Bullet Wheels??

    Well, I am planning on getting my wife a set of wheels and tires for Christmas for her 2008 Vapor Silver GT. I thought we had decided on black and polished bullets in 18/9 and 18/10 with 255/45/18 and 285/40/18 Nitto 555s however when looking at wheels on line yesterday she decided she really...

    Wide wheel and tire combo in 17" or 18"

    thanks Kool! How did that taller rear tire affect your accelleration? I imagine you felt a little loss but I guess that would depend on your starting ratio as to how much you might feel it.

    Wide wheel and tire combo in 17" or 18"

    Thanks for the initial input folks. Casey4s, That looks sweet. I checked diameters and it looks like 555s in 255/45/18 up front and 285/40/18 in the rear may be the ticket. Anybody have some rear view photos as well to show the aggressiveness of the width? I agree there are some 20" wheels...

    Wide wheel and tire combo in 17" or 18"

    I am planning on getting my wife a set of black and polished bullet wheels for Christmas to replace her silver 17" bullets on her vapor silver '08 GT and want to replace them with an aggressive looking set of wheels and tires. I like 17" wheels for accelleration purposes but 18" would be fine. I...

    zex 75 shot safe with non nitrous brenspeed tune?

    :shrug: ????? What do you mean? N20 is just as much for the street as it is anywhere. What I would be concerned about with a performance tune is any timing advance being incorporated into the tune. A 75 shot is pretty small but you do not want any detonation from advanced timing. That is the...

    Stripe kit install?? Help!

    Thanks for the input. I recognize that this is going to take a while. I just don't think the shops really care about the level of perfection in laying the stripes out. They just want to get them on. Anyway, I plan on putting a 2" strip of painters tape from the front to the rear along the...

    Stripe kit install?? Help!

    We tried to have a local graphics shop install 10" stipes on my wifes new vapor silver GT. First they claimed they didn't need a kit since they cut their own graphics. They tried that and couldn't get the the front or rear bumper kits to line up due to the contour so they told me to go ahead and...

    diffrence between

    You really should listen to as many clips and or cars as you can. Exhaust sound is very much a personal choice. I believe X pipes on these 3 valve motors sounds ricey and terrible. The exhuast note on these cars is not very muscle car sounding IMHO so anything that you can do to get a lower...

    Tools for exhaust install

    The sockets you will need are probably deep ones to clear the shank of the bolts. That is what I used. It was also helpful to have box wrenches for the hanger bolts. Piece of cake. JACK STANDS!!! Chalk the wheels! Parking brake on! ( I know this is obvious but just a reminder...stay safe)

    Who has and likes the appearance package

    I do agree that the package is one of the few bargains available on the car if that is the look you are going for and don't plan to upgrade the car. I like a scoop on these cars in general but like I said earlier there are just so many on the road that they really end up not appearing very...

    Who has and likes the appearance package

    We had to really search to find a vapor silver GT without the package. It is a really cheap package but we are installing a shaker hood on the car and the bolt holes in the factory scoop are not covered by the shaker. The rolled tip exhaust look ok but we knew that the exhaust would be one of...
